Pain tolerance is subjective to different individuals. Most clients find it tolerable after numbing. For clients who are aware that their pain threshold is low, you may inform us in advance and we can arrange for longer numbing.
Firstly, please condition your lips by making sure it is not too dry/chapped or presence of any open wounds/ ulcers during your lip blush session as this can affect ink deposition. Secondly, if you have a history of cold sores, it is highly recommended to consume anti-viral medication few days before your appointment. After you have confirmed your appointment, a note will be sent to you for pre appointment care.
Try to have a enough rest and filled tummy before coming as this can increase your pain tolerance as well.
Mild dark lips can take 1~2 sessions while very dark lips can take 5~6 sessions. It will entirely depend on how severe the darkness is. Our lip blush artists can advise more accurately after assessing your lip condition during consultation.
It will take about 2 hours. This will include consultation, numbing, the actual lip blush procedure and aftercare explanation.
All pricing will remain the same regardless of doing neutralisation or not. Generally speaking, we want the end result to be natural and colour to be balanced. Our artists will advise accordingly based on your lip condition and lifestyle preferences.
Lip embroidery is the traditional lip tattoo technique – it is more invasive and cause more trauma to the lips. Lip blush is a newer technique which is more gentle less invasive. If you want more natural results for an everyday look, lip blush is highly recommended. Our technique is not lip embroidery so the results will not be very harsh or dramatic. If you wish for such result, we do not recommend our treatment to you.
The longevity of your lip blush will depend on many factors such as lifestyle and diet. It will typically last 2 years after your 1 complimentary touch up.
It is best to send in a picture of your current lip condition to us. We may suggest ink removal if the pigmentation is too strong or we can proceed if the colour has become weak over time.
Healing will take 5~7 days and swell will subside within the first 24 hours. Avoid hot and spicy food right after treatment, refrain from sweating, exercising, prolonged UV exposure, consuming alcohol and smoking for 2~3 days. Avoid swimming and sauna for 5-7 days.Peeling will occur about 3 days after.
Your artists will go through the full aftercare steps with you in detail after your appointment.
